Abstract excerpt
In Drosophila, maternal string mRNAs are stable for the first few hours of development, but undergo specific timed degradation at the cellularisation stage. To determine whether the proteins that control this degradation are maternally or zygotically transcribed, we have used in situ hybridisation to determine the fate of maternal string transcripts in mutant embryos which lack individual chromosome arms. Our...
